Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed



Owen Reynolds pondered for a moment, "Grey, I suppose."noveldrama

Roseanne's eyes sparkled with excitement, exactly what she had in mind!

Owen signaled the sales associate, "We'll take this one, please swipe my card."

After changing back into his own clothes, Roseanne pointed at his collar, "This part, it's not flipped down properly."

He tried adjusting it but couldn't get it right.

Roseanne simply reached out and fixed it for him.

He was tall, requiring her to reach up, bringing them very close together.

Close enough to feel each other's breath.

The unique scent of the girl wafted into Owen's nose, his heart skipped a beat, his Adam's apple bobbed.

He could distinctly feel the woman's slender fingers gently folding the fabric at his collar, her warm fingertips inadvertently brushing against his neck, sending a shiver down his spine as if a current of electricity had passed through him.

Silver had arranged to meet someone for dinner and, seeing she was early, decided to browse the mall.

After dropping off her own shopping bags with the driver, she headed up to the fifth floor, intending to find something for Ferdinand and their three

sons.

What can you do, when one's your husband and the other three are bachelors?

After a few fruitless visits to various stores, her interest started to wane, and she walked aimlessly.

Suddenly, a suit in a shop window caught her eye.

Just as she was about to take a closer look, she saw, through the glass, a man and a woman inside.

It was her youngest son, Owen Reynolds! And he was with a woman!

Silver's eyes widened in shock.

Just when she thought it couldn't get more sensational, the woman slowly turned around, her hand moving away from the man's collar, revealing a familiar beautiful face.

It was her!

The Barista girl who was close with Nola!

Silver instinctively moved closer to get a better look, only to bump her nose against the glass, wincing at the pain.

That's when she had to face the reality-

The woman with Owen was indeed the Barista who had shown off ina cocktail dress during their class and had mercilessly criticized heron the spot!

Indeed, what were the odds?

She had seen her before in Owen's apartment building...

Owen ordered two meals for himself...

the kitchen, and by the next day,

e were two... Contet

A flurry of questions and a foreboding feeling of losing control enveloped Silver.

She discreetly moved aside, continuing to observe from a distance.

"All set, Professor."

Roseanne withdrew her hand, stepping back to put some distance between them.

Owen Reynolds: "Thank you."

The sales associate handed over the neatly packaged suit and his credit card, "Here you are, and here's your card back." Taking them, they left the store.

"Come again-"

Worried about being spotted, Silver quickly turned and hid in the fire escape as they were leaving.

But when she peeked out again, they were nowhere to be found.

Frustrated, she stomped her foot, but the recoil made her ankle sting.

Even her shoes seemed to be conspiring against her!
